response at the box-office, is fast inching towards the prestigious Rs. 100
crore club. The crime film collected a total of Rs. 75.90 crore nett by five

Rs. 100 crore in 10 days, while ‘Housefull 3’ made it in 13 days. Besides, ‘Rowdy
Rathore’, ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Holiday’ are also listed in the prestigious club.
